runawayedge,
Yes you are correct, NOC is being dropped from EMA this winter, i think its mainly because of there not being enough aircraft as winter time is when they are scheduled for maintenance. As NOC is probably the worst performing route out of EMA (however, it is alot busier now the summer holidays have started), something had to go. EDI and BFS frequencies are also down to twice daily for the winter. I have also heard that BCN will not be returning nor will TLS be operating through the winter.
